890FXA-GD65 Won't post.

Got the board in the mail today and assembled my "new" build, which is to say there are a few parts recycled from an older build, and the computer boots up through the MSI logo screen. Then for an instant flashes the POST screen. After that the screen just begins to flash a little dash at the upper left corner. I've tried to see where the board screws up at the beginning but it's just too quick to be seen.
I've tried booting it with unplugging everything the video card unplugged, and I still had the same problem. So I turn to here for anything else that can/should be done.
Thanks in advance!

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 970
RAM: Currently looking to replace the current RAM, since I think it might be the problem. But it is currently Kingston 8gb DDR3, with 4 2gb sticks.
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500gb, 7200RPM
Video card is a nVidea 9800 1gb of ram.
PSU is a brand new Antec Earth watts 530W.
All other peripherals are unplugged, which include a DVD drive, and wireless card, and a PCI-E firewire card.
No OS is installed, since I reformatted the drive to see if it fixed anything.
Am I forgetting anything?

The first blue PCI-E clip was half-broken off out of the box. 24 pin ATX, 6 pin PCI-E power and 8 pin CPU power all plugged in.

Troubleshooting: I have pulled it out setting the MB on bare cardboard, re-seated the CPU a couple times, switched the memory around both sticks to all 4 slots, tried a different video card, unplugged all USB peripherals and SATA drives and reset the BIOS. Same cable/monitor works fine with my laptop, both HDMI and DVI.
Any steps I might be missing? Wife is fed up with having no media PC and I doubt she will be willing to wait another month to get the board RMAed a second time.

Z77A-GD65 won't post

My newly built PC wouldn't start the other day:
Z77A-GD65 motherboard
Core i5 3570K
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
GTX 660
Corsair TX 750W PSU
Corsair Hydro 100i CPU Cooler
Corsair Obsidian 650D tower
It sort of tried to power up, fans would start spinning and then 1 second later it would all power down. This cycle would continue until I switched it off at the PSU. I took a look inside and noticed that the DRMOS red LED was lighting up. The LED 1 was also flashing blue.
All the reading I did on the problem suggested either the PSU or the motherboard was on the blink, so before I RMAed the motherboard I bought a new Corsair CX 750M PSU and set the motherboard on a wooden table top with just the RAM, CPU and standard Intel cooler inserted.
Now the DRMOS light no longer comes on but the LED 1 light flashes and goes out, the system "reboots", this cycle continuing until I switch off the power. The CPU fan isn't even spinning up now though.
Now 2 things:
1. The motherboard I got cheap as an "open box" item from Aria PC, so I have a feeling it may have been dodgy to begin with.
2. My old PSU didn't have an 8-pin EPS connector so I bought an adapter than plugged into the old style standard 4-pin IDE drive power connector. I hope this hasn't somehow fried the motherboard!
I can't find anything that tells me what the LED 1 light flashing on its own in this way means. Does anyone know?
Please tell me it's just the motherboard that's fried and not my beloved 3570K!
Should also say the debug LED panel doesn't even light up with any values and I've also tried switching the BIOS to A (it was set to B for some reason). I've also tried clearing the CMOS. Didn't help.

A0 is IDE Detect if its stopping there your drive mode sounds like its not set correctly as its not seeing your OS drive if its hanging! and AD is Ready to Boot Event (loading OS) this is either a OS from a different chipset or a bad drive mode or both happening!
Agree. It sounds so close to working. Maybe the onboard graphics will work to try and figure out how to get it set up right.
Also sounds like he may need a clean formatted HDD/SSD to place a fresh OS install on.

P55-GD65 won't POST with SLI

Hi, I seem to have quite a strange problem - I have 2 nV 8800GTS 512MB cards, both work perfectly when "single", but as soon as I put them both in the PC won't start up - no signal to the display, no sign of booting. Interesting things are that the CPU phase LEDs are acting weird - after a few seconds, first 4 of them shut down and only LED #5 and 6 keep illuminated, sometimes after another few seconds the first 4 start flashing quite rapidly. Another thing is that one of the cards (always the one in the "lower" slot) keeps in the "startup" mode, with the fan on maximum RPM, the upper card quits it normally after a few seconds.
I suspected the PSU since it is rated only 650W, but both 12V rails are capable of powering each of the cards in 3D Mark, so I don't think it would be a problem for it to power them on startup.
Any ideas what may be the problem? Or at least a hint to narrow it down, since I now suspect both graphic cards, the PSU and the mainboard of being faulty and have no idea which to eventually replace.

Just did a bit of testing, the flashing LEDs thing turned out to be associated with Intel SpeedStep - apparently, as it lowers the multiplier, it also lowers the voltage down to approx. 0.95V and the LEDs go haywire. When I tried the SLI configuration with SpeedStep off, the LEDs remained lit and voltage readout on the multimeter was stable.
I also tried "stressing" the 12V rail by running both the GPU and the HDDs on it while running World In Conflict benchmark (don't really have anything better here at the moment) and it didn't seem to have any problems.
Just to clarify, according to the sticker on the PSU there are 4 12V rails, each 15A, one to CPU (4-pin connector), one to GPU (6 pin), one for IDE+SATA(+2nd GPU with an adapter) and one for I don't know what, with a 4-pin connector similar to the CPU one, only all 4 "slots" are perfectly square, no beveled corners as on the CPU one.
Anyway, I'll try to get someone to lend me some better PSU, but I doubt I would be successful, so if anyone has any more ideas on how to test it it will be greatly appreciated

P55-GD65 won't post

Hi,
My system has been working fine for over a year now, and all of a sudden it has stopped working. It will not post, and beep error code I get is one long beep, and two short beeps.
If anyone could help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Spec:
CPU: i7-860
RAM: 2 x 4Gb G.Skill
PSU: 530W Corsair
GPU: Radeon 5770 1Gb

Your PSU is actually 18A per rail with a total of 40Amps over the three 12V rails, which should be sufficient for your system, as the minimum recommended is ~34A with your GPU, assuming nothing has gone wrong with the PSU.
How many power connectors are on your GPU, and have you got them all connected ?
Only add the bare minimum, i.e. only one RAM module, your OS HDD. Do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Then retry and advise.

Msi 890fxa-gd65 1 beep begins to post then shuts down...help?

Hey I just purchased a 890FXa-gd65 board this week and have a phenom 2 x4 970z in it with corsair 2x4GB 1333 ram thats made for phenom 2, i looked it up on corsairs website to make sure. Im using 2x XFX 5850 graphics and an OCZ Agility 3 sata 6/gbps SSD along with two WD Caviar blacks. This is a new build, although i tried using a phenom 2 x4 965 originally but had same problem. so, i boot up get a single beep the comp begins to post and then shuts down. vie tried dif ram and now have tried a dif cpu. vie tried using only 1 graphics card at a time and switching between 1 and the other. always gets the same response. i do not have the sad or hard drives plugged in either. originally i was using corsair vengeance 1600mhz ram but thought that was the issue because of the speed being to high so i got some 1333 just to make sure and it still is doing the same thing. i really don't know what to do at this point. in the 15yrs vie been building comps for myself and others vie never hit a brick wall like this. any suggestions? just to make sure i tried running just the board ram cpu and video card onto of the motherboard box it came in, as msi tech suggested....still nada

i have a corsair 850HX 850watt. Nevermind It turned out after getting a friend to plug some diagnostic hardware into it we found out it was a dud mobo. I RMAed it and after plugging everything into a new board things worked fine. sorry i wasted your time. i appreciate the help you give to people who need it, thanks again.

890fxa-gd65 with amd fx6100 am3+ socket

Hi all, I'm having trouble rebuilding a pc. I have the 890fxa-gd65 mainboard (which states that is supports am3+) and for the cpu i have amd fx6100 am3+. I bought the card in December 2011, according to the msi website cpu support, the FX series is supported with a bios update (which was supposed to have been applied before they shipped the board). Looking at the bios versions, it shows initial support of am3+ in April 2011, but the version of bios they list next to the FX series cpu came out in September 2011. I'm wondering if my board really got the updated bios to support this cpu.
Here are the symptoms. With everything plugged up, i get no video (monitor says there is no signal), and I get no lights on the mouse except for a quick blip of the lights, then looks like no power to mouse or it is turned off. Also, i get no audible beeps to indicate anything is happening. All fans are running, and all 8 mainboard leds are lit solid.
I tried removing things one by one and still no beeps to indicate anything. I have tried with just one memory stick (I'm using ddr3 1600). same problem. I tried it without any memory...expecting to hear that beep. I tried it with nothing attached to the board, no video, no hard drive, no dvd...still nothing to indicate an error.
I would upgrade the bios to the newest version, but of course can't since it won't even post. I have no older cpu i could put in it to use temporarily just to upgrade the bios.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks.

...the FX series is supported with a bios update (which was supposed to have been applied before they shipped the board).
It depends on when the MB left the factory, most likely it left the factory before the updated BIOS was available. What is the BIOS number printed on the sticker on the BIOS chip?
You need at least I4 (18.4) for the FX6100
To flash the BIOS you would need to take it to a local shop to do it for you which could cost very little or much more than you're willing to pay, depends on the shop. You could send it back to the store you bought it from and see if they will do it. You could buy a cheap supported Sempron CPU and do it yourself.

Multiple Problems with MSI 890FXA-GD65

I am having problems getting a clean build of new components to work. The components are:
motherboard is MSI 890FXA-GD65
processor is AMD Phenom II X2 565 Callisto
memory is 2x 4Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X model F2-12800CL9D (CAS 9, Unbuffered DDR3 1600)
disk drive is a Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1 TB SATA III
card is an MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC.
power supply is an Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
operating system is Windows 7
All items are brand new, and being assembled for the first time, so nothing is overclocked.
I have three problems. First is that the video output is flaky. I initially thought that the board wasn't POSTing, because I was getting no audible 'beeps' and there was no display output (does this board not have a speaker or speaker header?). Through trial and error, I discovered that the board was POSTing, but I could not see anything because of a strange video problem:
If the monitor is connected when the video output changes, then the video will not work, and disconnecting/reconnecting will not fix it. For example. If the video cable is plugged in during a cold start, I will get no video output. If I wait a few seconds until the Bios loads, and then plug in the video, then I get a video signal. However, if I leave it plugged in as the video output switches when Windows starts up, then I lose video again. Only by plugging in and then unplugging during the same video output mode can I use the output.
I have tried 2 different video cards (same mdodel number) with the same result. I have tried switching my memory with only 1 stick and with both sticks installed. I don't have another processor to try.
The second problem is that Windows will not run with the USB controller turned on in BIOS. It starts 'loading files' and then just hangs.
The third problem is that the MSI utility program will not run properly. I tried to install the updated chipset drivers, but the installation hangs.
Thanks for any help!! I am on the verge of returning the board to NewEgg after many hours of trying to troubleshoot this build.

Thanks for the reply. I am using the DVI output on the video card connected to a VGA monitor with an DVI-VGA adapter.
No external USB connections have ever been installed.
I don't have any other DDR3 laying around. Is there a recommended memory list on the MSI site? I couldn't find one.

However its down to the CPU as memory controller is there.
You should use AMD tested memory sticks

890FXA-GD65 and possible USB Controller related issue?

Hi all - Been having a bad time of it with a new system build for a little under a month now. Have tried to capture my "notes" below, any idea of a root cause? Is anyone aware of known issues with the board; the board and Windows 7; the board and some other component(s)?
My issue: During Windows 7 x64 installation or startup, the system will freeze at the "Starting Windows" screen.
My system specifications:
MOTHERBOARD: MSI 890FXA-GD65 (BIOS ver 18)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ stock speed (HDZ555WFGMBOX)
MEMORY: DDR3 1600 2X4GB G.Skill Ripjaws-X [DIMM1 & DIMM2] (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
VIDEO CARD: XFX Radeon HD 5670 512MB (HD-567X-YNF3)
HARD DRIVE(s): 2 x Western Digital 500GB 7200 drive (WD5000AAVS)
POWER SUPPLY: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate edition, retail)
This problem has existed since I first built the system and is consistently reproducable.
I am able to avoid the issue by disabling the USB Controller in BIOS prior to initiating the Windows installer. This will allow me to proceed through Windows installation, but as soon as the USB Controller is enabled once again, the issue recurs. Having to disable USB support is undesirable.
I'm now on my second 890FXA-GD65 motherboard, having RMA'ed the first board after a fairly brief exchange with MSI tech support(2 replies, with the eventual suggestion of RMA for a faulty USB controller). So I went through the RMA process with the online retailer, receiving a new board today.
The problem is that the RMA replacement behaves in exactly the same manner. Normally this would suggest to me that the problem may lie with one or more of the other components, but I've not been able to identify issues with any of them. One obvious suggestion would be to try swapping out components, but my resources are constrained on that front - video card happens to be the only component for which I have a alternate that I can test with, actually.
As far as troubleshooting investigation, here's what I've done/observed:
1. Windows installation/startup will succeed if the USB Controller is disabled in BIOS.
2. The same behavior can be observed with a Windows Vista installation disk as well.
3. When loading Windows in safe mode, the last driver file loaded was disk.sys
4. Memtest86+ (v4.2), repeated full passes reveal no issues with the system memory.
5. While seeming that it would be an unlikely factor, I have swapped out video cards(to an eVGA 8800 GTS 320MB), but observed the same issue still exists.
6. Running in a single DIMM configuration affected no change.
7. Have disconnected one or the other of the hard drives with no change.
8. The BIOS version installed is equivalent to the latest(and only) version posted on the MSI support site.
So...any ideas on what's left to try? I've done enough reading online to notice that I'm not the only person to have observed this behavior, but have yet to encounter any explanation of it nor a resolution.
Any suggestions?

Trying to catch the points that weren't explicitly spoken to by me in the last attempt:
@Stu - Regarding testing with zero USB devices connected - this was done as part of troubleshooting and it has no observable effect, so I think that I can rule out a bad USB device being the culprit and I apologize for not making that clear previously.
@Frederik - I've done a little more legwork on the memory item. Troubleshooting, for the most part, has been executed with this memory set to run as DDR1333 @ 1.5V as that is what the board auto-defaults to(the kit is rated as DDR1600 @ 1.5V) It was at the defaulted setting that I ran memtest86+ and no errors were reported.
I've also just now made an attempt to run this memory as DDR1066 at 1.65V and still there is no change in results. In my research on this specific kit, I have not run into accounts like mine - in the accounts that I have read regarding a poor experience with the kit, memory has either been been obviously bad, for which failures are reported in diagnostics like memtest. ...or, I suppose that there's also the random guy complaining about his overclock not working or the memory speed defaulting to the wrong value in BIOS.
Frankly, I don't want to battle any particular component and I owe no allegiance to this make of memory. I do want to try to be objective, given that I'm stuck with these modules until I make the decision to RMA. As such, I had read what info is available out there - prior to purchase, I hadn't noted so many reports of issues with this kit across a considerable sample size of feedback so as to cause me initial concern, or else I would have gone with a different kit/different brand. Probably will do that anyways, next time, but in the meantime, I'm afraid of this being a distraction. If both myself and this other person(drgan) had both been using the same memory kit, and thus it was more likely to be the common thread, I'd certainly be more inclined to this line of reasoning. But since he's using Kingston and in the few other accounts of a system freezing on USB controller enabled status I've noted varied memory kit brands, it doesn't seem to me to be an obvious culprit. But if not, then what's left to consider? The other interesting factor to me is that the issue appears to be Windows-centric....but...

Msi 890fxa-gd65 USB and video dying after extended use

Multiple times this has happened to me. I will be playing a game for a while (2+ hours) and all the sudden my mouse, keyboard, and monitor will all black out and shut off. My computer is still running and the buttons on the front of the case to shut the computer off no longer work either.
I know it's not a heat issue because i touched the heat sinks on the mobo and they are not hot at all.
I have taken the board and exchanged it at frys; this is the 2nd board so i'm pretty sure its nothing wrong with the board.
Help me please!

Why then does MSi mainboard default to this speed?
Steve64, do yourself a favour and search for RAM SPD profiles on the net. Memory module manufacturers write the SPD information to the EEPROM on the module. Motherboard BIOSes read the SPD information to configure the memory controller. If that SPD profile is not in line with the native RAM speed supported by the CPU, then the board's BIOS will be set to the incorrect memory speed as can be seen in this post. Its an industry design standard (JEDEC) and the memory manufacturer is the cause of the incorrect setting when the user buys an incompatible set of memory.
The rest of your post has been removed as it adds no value to finding a solution.

AGEPA Update for 890FXA-GD65 (Socket AM3+ Steam incompatibility)

Just installed Valve's Steam onto my new desktop for the first time and get the blue screen of death upon loading Portal 2.
After a bit of Googling I've discovered that this is a known issue for Bulldozer chips with certain newer titles on Steam, there appear to be a few bios updates from major venders to tackle this issue as advised in this page on the AMD site - http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/STEAMGamesonAMDFXplatforms.aspx
Unfortunately the link for the MSI board is for the newer socket 990FXA-GD80 and there doesn't appear to be an update for the 890FXA-GD65 (I'm currently running the most recent BIOS for this board). Just wondered if anybody else was aware of this / has seen a fix?
I have filed a query direct with MSI, but have yet to receive a response, don't really want to dump this board & upgrade as this is the only issue I've had with an otherwise superb product.
AMD FX-4100 @ 4.6ghz
MSI 890FXA-GD65
MSI AMD R6850
6GB Crucial Ballistix RAM @ 1600mhz
Any help or advice appreciated.

You are talking to yourself, as I see nobody else reporting this in the forum.
I can only conclude that your "issue" is within your Windows.
Ergo format your harddisk and install Windows from scratch.
No need to be patronising Bas. The "issue" is not with my windows.
This is an issue with all AM3+ with Bulldozer chips installed, boards from all vendors, MSI released a fix for the 990FXA-GD80, but both 890's and the 990FXA-GD65 haven't had the fix released, I'm talking to myself because it is quite a niche problem, not that many people using FX chips that want to play the 4 or 5 games affected by this problem. There have been other forum posts relating to this issue regarding other boards.
However to prove a point, this problem has persisted over a Radeon 5870 and Radeon 6850 and about 5 complete formats and reinstalls on a Samsung 500gb F3 and a Crucial M4 SSD and 2 bios flashes to the latest bios.
It's a problem conceded by Steam and AMD, and isn't an "issue" I have concocted to scapegoat an issue I can't find.
Here are some links to prove that I am not just a mentalist posting about a non existent "issue".

Here is a thread on this very forum for this "issue" on the 990FXA-GD80 - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154543.0
I've tried playing a friends boxed copy of Shogun 2 (one of the titles effected) and it installs and runs with no issues, further underlining that this is a problem with the DRM associated with Steam and how it interacts with the FX chips on this bios and not my Windows installation.
The problem also doesn't persist when I replace the FX chip with a Phenom 2 Socket AM3 chip using all the same hardward.
Trust me Bas, I wouldn't be posting here that this was the "issue" if it wasn't. I build an average of 2-4 machines a month (all with MSI mainboards, but mostly socket 1155), and am big enough and ugly enough to fix any issues I create. I chose to build my own desktop using socket AM3+, so I could have a play with the new Bulldozer architecture before recommending it to people. Unfortunately it looks like I'm gonna continue recommending Sandybridge for the time being at least.

890fxa-gd65 black screen due to usb use ?

To discribe the problem in simple words: I noticed that my new build system stops working after approx. 20 minutes when I play a game (burnout city paradise) with my logitech gamepad, hence usb. Screen goes black, system is totally not responding to anything, but fans still run. I have to shut it down with the button on the psu. But after that I can restart my system right away. When I play any other game that doesn't involve a gamepad, the system tends to do the same black screen thing after 2 hours of playing, but only if I have usb stuff plugged in (printer, external hdd's and a card reader). Again, hence usb. As soon as I unplug everything, exept for the mouse and keyboard, it seems that I can play without end, but sometimes the black screen thing still occurs. I have been reading similar post on this problem in this forum, and on the internet, and tried the sollutions suggested, (in the bios,ver 18.3, cell menu, changing timing from 1t to 2t, switching from unganged to ganged mode) but that didn't help.
This is my setup:
890fxa-gd65 mb with bios version 18.3
AMD X4 II 965 AM3 Black [email protected] Mhz
Geil 8 gig DDR3 Value Plus pc1333 Dual channel memory kit (2x4gig)
MSI R6850 Cyclone Graphics Card.
Samsung HD, 1 TB, HD103SJ F3
Club 3D psu, 1000w
Windows 7 ultimate, 64bit.
If I should place screen shots of CPU-Z here, let me know. But i hope someone can help me, because I'm running out of options. I don't want to RMA this board just jet.

do you use windows 7 chipset drivers?

also do you have SP1 installed?
I use the msi chipset drivers, and SP1 is installed.
But something weird just happened. I just tried to play a game with "Battlefield Bad Company 2", single player. It took a while trying to load the level, and then, all of a sudden the screen went black and the whole system was not responding. Had to shut it down with the power button on the PSU. And could restart immidiatly after that. And I mean Windows. Not the game....... I'm puzzeled What I can do is that I try to do the same thing, play a single player game with BFBC 2, and see what happens......
Edit:
As I wrote, I went back to the game. Now it had no trouble loading the level. And I could play. I didn't play it for an extended period of time. Just to see if it works. And as I said, it did. This is becoming a weird puzzle.

890fxa-gd65 1 long 2 short beeps

Hello all,
I have a 890fxa-gd65 and a xfx radeon 6870 HD in a new computer that I am trying to get running. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps at power on. From what i read from the forums it is a video problem. I know for certain the card is good. Anyone know what might be going on. I want to update the bios but obviously cannot with out video. Or can I? Anyone know of a way i can update the bios without video, and without having to buy another video card? just fyi, I know that the power supply is also good.
Any help is appreciated.
One other question. I am new to MSI boards and was wondering what to do about the 6-pin video power plugin on the board itself. The card already has two 6-pin connectors so im not sure if the board plug needs to be used or not. I have tried booting with and without it so i dont think its the main issue, but i would still like to know what to do with it.
Thanks,
Derek

I have tried booting with and without it so i dont think its the main issue, but i would still like to know what to do with it.
connect it

I have a 890fxa-gd65 and a xfx radeon 6870 HD in a new computer that I am trying to get running. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps at power on. From what i read from the forums it is a video problem. I know for certain the card is good. Anyone know what might be going on. I want to update the bios but obviously cannot with out video. Or can I? Anyone know of a way i can update the bios without video, and without having to buy another video card? just fyi, I know that the power supply is also good.
what psu you use?
have you connected all power cables to the vga?
have you tried to reseat the vga into the PCIE slot?
do you use 1st PCI-E slot close to cpu socket?

790FX-GD70 Won't Post

I bought the 790FX-GD70 in January and I'm just now finishing the build (don't ask).
I waited to buy the CPU until last, so I got the X6 1090T. The current BIOS is 7577 1.0 and I have every intention of updating it to 1.C as soon as I can get to the BIOS, but no luck there. I have it bare bones right now and out of the case. Parts list:
790FX-GD70 BIOS ver 1.0 (I know, I need to update ASAP)
Phenom II X6 1090T
Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
Corsair Dominator 2GB DDR3 1033MHz (in first slot closest to CPU. The box says AMD Phenom II right on it. Grrr...)
Corsair 850HX Power Supply
It's right here in front of me out of the case, lying on my desk.
The problem is, it won't post. This is what I get:
FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, then it resets, FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, reset, etc. etc.
All the CPU phase LEDs light, memory LEDs light, and the hard drive LED lights right before the board resets.
Any help would be awesome. I'm lost. Thanks.

what vga you have?
have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of the pc case?
tried >>Clear CMOS Guide<< too?
power cable for the cpu is connected?
have you tried to reseat the cpu too and check for bent pins?

Toshiba portege model A605-P200 won't POST bios unless I take out the battery and put it in again

toshiba portege model A605-P200 won't POST bios unless I take out the battery and put it in again
though, at times, it will, generally all i get is a flashing cursor NO toshiba splash screen. this seems to have started as an unsucessful windows update
i am getting driver freezing at crc.disk.exe when i safe boot when i get the machine to boot past the bios
thanks

Unfortunately, it sounds like it might require servicing.
